This place, aka Essen Urgent Care, is the worst. The ONLY good thing about it is its location--it's…read moreconvenient! Maybe they'll have one doctor there. Or maybe the doctor is returning calls/relaying test results while patients wait to see the doctor. There are no nurses. No np's, no PA's. Only one or two med techs who check your vitals and administer Covid, flu, etc tests. If you come on a day that there is no doctor or other clinician, you're out of luck. I only go there for Covid, etc testing. That done, I've called for results but there is no one qualified to give you verbal results. The law says only a doc, nurse or other clinician can give you results. They can fax it to you but then again, only a clinician can do that. I've waited days for answers. They have a portal app but no one is at the other end to give you the text verification "code" and it's not automated! Once I came in for a urine culture. I knew I had an infection. I gave a sample and put it in a box in the wall where I was told to put it. Hours later I got a call asking me where I left the sample, and was told they couldn't find it. I told them it was right where the doctor told me to put it. Frustrating? yes Then they couldn't tell me the result because there was no clinician there to tell me. I called 4 times before I could get the result and let my doctor (Cornell) know. This time I had a Covid test, strep and flu and RSV tests. I was told they would call me in 2 days. At 330 pm on the 2nd day I called. Same problem. No one there to give me the results. They said a doctor would call me at 4 pm. But it was already 43O pm! They then said 530 pm. It's now 7:15 pm and I received no call. At least the person on the phone was professional and lovely, but I still don't have my test results. The above are only a few of the poor experiences I've had at Essen or UriCare or whatever name they call themselves yesterday or tomorrow. The heck with convenience. From now on I'm going to city MD where there are clinicians and much better care and service. If they can't get these simple tasks done right, just imagine how bad Essen's medical care could be. Since they have also expanded next door into primary care, I fear worse for those who Also go there for convenience. It's not worth it and it could very well be a disaster.

I was seen my medical assistant Jessica, who was friendly and expert; then Dr. Katkovsky came in, looked closely, listened closely, and gave me both an explanation, a prediction, and an antibiotic. On the way out, I got papers from Tabitha, who was equally friendly and efficient. The whole visit was delightfully compact; everyone laughed at my nervous-patient jokes, and I went out into the night feeling that I had been treated extra-kindly by informed human beings. I know this isn't the stereotype of urgent care, and people in pain always see flaws, but this place is GREAT. I don't want to have a reason to come there again, but I would be comforted if I had to.

Before arriving, I called with a few questions and the secretary who answered the phone was extremely patient and helpful. When I arrived, she continued to be exceptional. She helped me scan the barcode to register, asked for my information, and even allowed me to email the documents to her. Her energy was very welcoming and professional, and I really appreciated how kind she was. After that, she brought me into the exam room. The medical assistant who helped me was wonderful as well. She was kind, patient, and answered all of my questions. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the visit. The doctor was also great. Although our conversation was brief, he was warm, attentive, and made sure to answer any questions I had. Overall, the entire experience was excellent. The wait time was very short, the staff was professional and caring, and I truly appreciated the level of service I received.

I scheduled at 9am for a 1pm. I get a call at Noon from a receptionist asking me if I can go to another clinic across The Bronx. Umm.... what for !? I live one block away from this one. She proceeded to tell me I may not be seen because I'm pregnant. What !? I asked what does that have to do with me being checked for my cold symptoms!? She could not explain or give enough reason. We disconnected and I walked over ahead than my scheduled time. When I arrived they told me the same thing, no provider can see you here because your pregnant. Something about licensing issues is last they provided. When I looked in the back I seen a female Doctor and she had an attitude and just shaking her head. I don't think it has anything to do with they "can not" it seemed like she just didn't want to be that bothered or check someone that closely because they are also pregnant. This place is a joke. Would of been my first time here too. Glad this place exposed themselves early !
